THE MUM:DENT AND THE .ABOLITIONUTS. The Philadelphia Presi was among the, first, to endorse Hunter's order for the emancipation of one million of slaves. It. and the Tribune, and the Evening Post,. apparently by arrangement, all opened their batteries, vehemently protesting that it was a right step, in the right direetion and at the right time. This was all in tended to operate , upon the Administra tion; to strengthen it in the emancipation policy, if there was any division of senti ment upon that question in the Cabinet.— If there was any wavering, these mere expected to manufacture an opinion which would consolidate the Cabinet in favor of Hunter'spnlicy.. These leading organs of Abolitionism sounded the key-note, and immediately all the penny-whistles of the crew, joined in the chorus. The Gazette of this city, among the latter, sounded its loftiest notes of admiration, but before its music was heard at the White House, "Old Abe," with- admirable expedition, knocked the whole medley aside. Hunter set frees million of slaves bya single order; the President informs us that the power to smarm:4l4e rests with the Stateethetn selves. Plain folks see quite a dilfereiniii in these two positions, but keen sightedia dividMits, like the editor of the Gamete, see nothing but harmony, which should be satisfiictory to all shades of opinion. Among the strong names used to manu factureopinion in favor of Hunter's order was that of the Hon. Athos Kendall:— The Press stated that, he had, lest win ter avowed himself in favor of this Hunter policy. In reply to this, Mr. Kendall comes out in the National Intelligeneer and puts the following extinguisher upon the statement: "Now, I should consider myself a trai tor to-my_ country if I—were to approve the late order. nf Gen. Hunter, purporting to set free all the slaves within his milita ry district. While exposing to Southern rebels the gulf which is yawning before them; theconception never entered 'my brain that any military commander or the Preeidint himself could acrostitntionilly, by general order or proclamation,. coif's cate property and emancipate their slavei,..orthat such an object could be ef fected otherwise than by conviction for treason, by due course-of lawiin the courts ofjiiitice." As to the President's position, it is far 'from being what the Abolitionists have been contending for, while it puts at rest, for all time to come, the idea of military commanders being empowered to issue emancipation procldmatiOns. That &era is effectually ended. Here is the President's position, copied from his late message; he says On the 6th day of March last, by a spec ial message, I recommended to Congress the adoption of a joint resolution, to be • substantially as follows : Resolved, That the United Stater ought to co-operate with any State which may adopt a gradual abolishment of Slivery,. giving to such State, in its discretion, com pensations for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by such change of system. The President enforces this view of the question in the most earnest manner, ,in which the following remarkable paragraph occuni "The change it contemplatestootdd come gently as the dews of heaven, not tending or wrecking anything. - Will you not ow bracel it f Xo snug good kis not been, dons by one effort in alt . paet dime as is the Providence of God tt di now your high privilege to do. May As vast future not have to lament Mat you have neglected it." Is there anything in these Union lines of the temper and violence of AbOlitionism Nothing whatever. He acknowledgeethe States summit in their control 3f the sla very question, and looks to them for the inauguration of a systein of iridual ansa cipation, which would "come gently*. the dews of Heaven." He next agrees to as sist these States in their emancipation undertaking, by giving compensation for their manumitted slaves. It is for the States to _sat upon the .1111, gestionis ; if'they refuse to do so, litere'e the end. And, yet oar Abolitionists; who deny " property in diva," and' who are for immediate, misepieg, unconditional emancipation and all its consequenees, have the amazing audacity to say that they are satisfied with die President's prods mation, mattering as it does, all their hopes of turning the war into a mei...cru sade for the destruction ofslavery. The de striiction or preservation of that institu tion is the business - of the States wherein it exists. This is the true constitutional doctrine; should any State, through her constitutional authority, accept the Presi dent's plan, then the- question 'Will arise whether the free millions-of the North are ready and willing to be taxed for the purpose of giving freedom to her slaves. This question is further on, but if it ever does arise, we expect to see Abolitionism refusing to bear its portion of the burthen entailed upon us all.

The fint.clash of arms pet as end to all debate about their referred or constitutional tights and forced the-anbatitat*Lof the other, which would have been more manly in the first instance —to take np.arms and throw off their form of government if they were able. But this 'eery defense •of States rights has already resulted in destroying that principle and substituting a centralism of despotic char acter. Wefindthefollowinginan exchange, which developer' little more fully the idea : "This doctrine of secession was consid ered very convincing and satisfactory by the leaders of rebellion, whose purpose war to destroy what they could not rule any longer, and to set up another govern ment more immediately under their own control. Though it answered to tear down one government, it was found a very bad principle to go to work upon to .build up another. Hence the Davis Confederacy has been taking one step after another in the direction of the most absolute and rig id central despotism, subversive of all State independence.and all State rights.— This tyranny was exhibited first in forcing Tennessee, against her will, into rehellioir, and the-attempt to draw Kentucky into the same treasonable trap. It has since culthinated . in the enforcement of a con scription whereby the militia Of a State can be forced from its own domestic de fense to fight in any other State where the rebel leaders may think it advisable to maintain hostilities. Georgia some time ago manifested symptoms of rebellion against this usurpation of the central au thority; but her recusant authorities were overawed or persuaded into submission.— North Carolina, however, takes the bull by the horns, and finally refuses to allow any more of her citizens to be impressed into the rebel army. This is a bold appli- Cation of State rights which the Davis des potism will scarcely allow. Yet North Carolina has good reason to come to such a resolution. While she has been sending her militia into Virginia, threatening to seize the National Capital, as Davis fondly imagined was within his power, she has been invaded by Union troops, all her sea board seized by the Government, and the entire State is in danger of being overrun by victorious invaders. This is enough to disgust her with the 'Confederacy,' which she reluctantly joined, end which has been nothing but a source ordisaster to herself. In making up his mind to refuse any more men to the rebel army, the Governor must have been satisfied of the weakness of the rebel Government to enforce its demands in violation of the principle of State rights, upon which the rebellion seeks to jrsti fj itself. If the Govermirs in the seceded States may, however, set -up their judg ments against the acts of the rebel Cou pes., the 'Confederacy' must very soon tumble to pieces, a fate which must neces sarily attend any Government attempted to be reared upon any such principle." mer-vr. H. Whitney, of the Pittsburgh not, has been appointed Notary Public by Gov. Curtin. We suppose, of course, Hr. W. will not accept an office under an AbolitionAdministration.—lkaver Argue. For fear of, misconception elsewhere, and in justice to Hr. - Whitney and our selves, we - must state that that gentleman has not been in any manner connected with the Pittsburgh Post for the past eight months. He has been merely re-appoint ed to an office which be has filled for the past three years, and at the solicitation of the leading business men of the city: But is Governor Curtin an Abolitionist? THE VOICE OP A PATRIOT. In reply to a, note.from F. F. A. Wilson, Esq., of Meadiille, Hon. John Rowe, late Speaker of the House of Representatives of this State, las given to his edmiring countrymen the following additional pledge of patriotic devotion to his country: "Hanaminnur, April 29, 1862. "Hy Dame Snri=-Your kind favor of the 26 th instant, hes been received. "Yon wish me to inform you whether I will be a candidate for the office of Sur veyor General. I answer no; I will not I be a candidate for any office. "I am anxious to see the Government sustained in its efforts to crush out the re ! hellion and have determined to act with thosemen that will go farthest to accom plish the desired end; therefore, for the present, I must-discard party, keeping in I view only my country. "Yours truly, Joss Rowe. "F. F. A. Wrinow,- Esq." This dodge could abt . have originated in the head of Rowe, himself. •Itis a pretty shrewd - bid for, the nomination, which he so patriotically - declines. John's anxiety rto see tie "goiernment sustained" must be quite opplensiie. The Republicans bought him last winter, by electing him Speaker, and -ever since that event he has been sustaining the govenfinent most effec tively. . Like the patriotic Forney, and several others of the same self-sacrificing Stripe, this Rowe sighs for the society of good men; for patriots whose only anxiety is the preservation of the government. For one who never aspired beyond the killable, though useful station of a green grocer in the village of Greencastle, this is pretty good; John's new dodge shows him to be a man having a soul above cab bages. His three months in Harrisburg have improved him wonderfully. His support of the Government during his legislative career, consisted in supporting the Abolitionists in every extreme meas ure proposed, including their vote pros ffituting. the House to -the purposes-of the avowed disunionist, Wendell Phillips. But we trust that Mr. John Rowe may succeed in his new littenipt to capture a State office.

Criticism upon the application of ,(seta might be all (sir enough and is within the province of .the press, but the self-sufficient air with which it was presented, so peculiar to the savan of that journal, in denying certain historical refferences and the effort at apolo gyjor the Doctor's supposed constrained position in this community; accompanied with the reproof that he had better stick to theology and not meddle with matters about which, he knew . nothing, but which he (Mr. MeMasters) had studied, perhaps • rendered the subjoined notice necessary : "ST. MICHAEL'S SEMINARY, PITTSBURGH, May 5, 1862. "EDITOR N. Y. FREEMAN'S JOURNAL: In your paper of last week, you call on me for a single citation or reference' to show that the doctrine of the divine right of Kings, which was defended by James 1., of England, was 'broached by imperial lawyers in the middle ages.' You state that this assertion is entirely new to you, and that you can find no proof of it in 'the somewhat. extensive libraries of New York.' Tbis, I must say, is to me a sur prising statement, as, did not your posi tive assertion assure me of the contrary, I would not suppose that yon were not aware that the doctrine that monarchs ' were amenable to no one but God, was frequently urged during the Middle Ages by the German Emperors and their par tizans, against the validity of Papal sen tences of deposition. num, to Bite an in stance, Frederic Barbarossa in a public letter, which he addressed ' to the King, Prelates and &irons of England, defend ing himself against the sentence of de position pronounced on him by Pope In nocent 1 V., says that a condemnation, 'by which a Roman Emperor is declired guilty of treason.[( hens majestatis) ridi culously subjects to law one wilt', by vir ue of his imperial office, is free from all laws, who, since he has no superior on earth, cannot be punished by man, but by God alone.' This letter is given by Mathew Paris (ad. an. 1246 ), and, in the words which I have quoted, the Emperor clearly maintains that he is freer from all law, and amenable to no earthy tribunal. This, I take it, is the doctrine of the right divine, subsequently defended by James L, of England.. I need scarcely add that it is well known that all document& issued by. Frederic in his controversy with 'the Holy See, were the productions of 'Peter de' Yineis, called by Muratori 'the famoui Chancellor,' and one of the most eminent lawyers of the Middle Ages." ' " As I do not intend, under any circum stances, again to trouble you and your readers on subjects connected with', my lecture, you will permit me to make 'one or two brief remarks. You insinuate that my expression of fervid sentiments of patriotism' was extorted by the feeling of the community in which I happen to move,' where, you seem to think:, there is no liberty for a man to express his holiest opinions. As far as this insinuation affects myself, I pass it by with a smile • but, in justice to the people of Pittsburgh, I must say that, at, no time, any loyal public ' speaker or writer need have felt himself obliged to express patriotic sentiments.— At one time, strong measures were taken to ferret out covert treason, and to prevent the expression of treasonable thought; but never, as far as I am aware, has any one been required to do more than to abstain from words or acts which could proceed from no other than a disloyal spirit. The means taken were not alwayssuch as sober, judgment could approve of : but they were condemned, at the time, by public opin ion, and they have never since been resort ed to. "The style and tone of your criticism on doctrinal statements , advanced in the lecture would prevent 'me from making any direct answer, even were I disposed to commence a newspaper controversy.— Hereafter, perhaps, when the feelings and prejudices engendered by the wrests of the past year will no longer fetter Your judg ment, you will see for yourself that in a lecture devoted to the development of the principles on which all governments rest, that phraseology alone was proper which could be applied to all forms; and you will also understand that had 'politically educated Americans' talked less about their rights, and reflected more on their duties as citizens, the country would never have been troubled by the Great Rebellion of 1881. Your obedient servant, JAMES EEOOll.' . Arkansas. General Curtis has very cleverly con ducted his marches thrOugh the State of Arkansas. Marching at.first in a south easterly. direction, along the valleys of the White river, he appeared to meditate a de scent ofthat river to the Mississippi, a long way below Memphis ;-or if he chose to take the direct course, he could have reached the Mississippi by a short march at a point just below Fort Wright. Either of these' movements seemed much more probable than that he has adopted. When he ar rived at Batesville, the county seat of In dependence county, he struck off due south, and at the last &deices fromlis ar my was beyond Searcy, the county seat of White county, on his way to Little Rock, the capital of the State. As Little. Rock is but fifty miles distant from Searcy,. on a direct road, and General Curtis was tin-. likely to meet armed opposition in any force, we may, expect his.next bulletin to announce that the national flag is flying over the capital of Arkansas, thus restoring another State to the Union. The Governor of Arkansas was making an effort to get out the militia to oppose General Curtis, bat with poor success, as large numbers of the people had claim ed the-protection of the old flag. Of all the States carried away by i the Secession con spiracy, Texas alone s without the shel tenng presence of the Stars and Stripes. Correspontions of the Pres. Letter from Williamsburg. WILLIAMSBURG, VA., May 18. Colonel David Campbell, of the Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry, is now military governor of this city. Captain Henneuy, of the same regiment has been appointed provost marshal, and is now occupied in the duties of that responsible office panting paroles, filling up passes, admin istering.oaths of &Repine., and generally preserving order. The provost medial occupies the house (the finest in'the city,) of the late Ithiyor. The city is full of wounded men,chiefly Confederates, many of whom will die. The late battle was far more severe than is generally believed. The rebel soldiers appear perfectly con vinced of the justice of their cause, and expect its ultimate success. The Confed erates were splendidly handled in the late battle, and Miliuty men tell me that the retreat from Yorktown was ably executed. The works at Williamsburg are inimensdy strong.

According to the `Southern custom, the ladies were standing in the' orticoes, and the stoops of their dwellings. As I approached, I observed that almost every lady would turn her back to me--is Southern way of giving one the "cold shoulder." To one raised in the South this is peculiarly "cutting;" bat any one'of intelligence and good breeding would pronounce it a vulgar expression of political animosity. More English Arrogant*.

And so on, ad infinitum. Col. Comoro's Coming glom.. It is understood here that Col. Corco ran has been released, Ana that he will be sent down the James river under a flag of truce from Richmond, in a short time, in company with a large number of released Federal prisoners. War News The telegraph yesterday; announced Mc- Clellan to be within a few miles of Rich mond; a battle, therefore, is momentarily expected. From within the rebel lines we learn that Davis has been called to account by the Virginia Legislature, with regard to his supposed purpose to abandon the State if Richmond is captured. Jefferson dis claims such intention, and says that even if the capital should fall into the hands of the Union army, that the war can be car ried on for twenty years on Virginia soil, which must be a very comforting assur ance to the impoverished .inhabitants of that desolated State. The rebel camps are enlivened by the presence of the rebel Congresimen, who are making strong ap peals to the soldiers to keep their courage up and make a desperate fight. Floyd is restored to grace, and is to raise a division of twenty thousand conscripts to defend Western Virginia. These men talk as if they had nothing more to do when they want to raise an army of any number of thousands than to go out among the hills sad whistle. like Roderick Dhu, to find men springing out of every bush. The bombardment of Fort Darling by the Ga lena made a great panic in Richmond. This is about the sum of this morning's news from the neigborhood of McClellan's army. Prom General Halleok's Army. From the letters of correspondents of the Western papers we learn that General Hafleck's army is advancing slowly every day. lc is expected that he intends to take Corinth by besieging the place with heavy guns. Asiour army advance they throw. up formidable lines of earthworks, so as to fall back on if they are temporarily re pulsed. . B eavy siege guns have gone to the front of our army, and Beauregard may wake up some morning and find him self in the face of hundreds of Gen. Hal leek's most, formidable cannon. How oar Arzeibie Situated. Three miles more of riding through the woods and across fields brought us out to the high piak known to the natives u Pea Ridge, and on the post office directory as Moutere7. General Halleck's head quarters' camp was still in the edge of the !woods to the left, but the neighboring tents were all gone. In the two days we kid been cni the left, the whole right and centre had moved forward, and we had ;hours more of following up new roads !through the woods and among the swamps before we could find the new position of the several divisions in the armies of Buell and Thomas. The whole centre, it seems, has swung over to close up on Pope, on the left, as be has been urgently requesting, and both centre and right have been stretch ed out. with a wider front, some two or three miles nearer than most of their camps had been before to the enemy's works. Caittag New Reads. These advances are small enough daily, when you come to count up the actual miles of propel ; but they involve not a little work.

WEDNESDAY Angiewoorr. May 21.' The encampment of the advance of the army under Gen. Stoneman is still at Gains' Mills, eight and a half miles from Richmond, and one and a half miles from the Chickahominy creek. The pickets of the rebels occupy the bank on one , side and those of the Union troops on the other. General Stoneman, in company with Professor Lowe, made a balloon rec onnoissance this morning from Gains' Mills, reaching an altitude of five hun dred feet from their position. Aa ad mirable view was had of Richmond sued the surrounding country. With a gliss the camps of the enemy, situated within the limits of the city, were seen, as well as the arrival and departure of railway trains. On the road between New Bridge and Richmond very few troops were seen ; but to the left of the city, on the line of the mail coach road leading to Bottom's bridge, a large number of troops were seen, and the smoke from a nuinberof camp fires coming from the woods in front, gave evidence that they were occupied by a large force of the enemy. Heavy firing was heard yesterday after- noon and this morning to the left of Rich mond, which was probably caused by our gunboats endeavoring .to make their way up the James river. The weather is warm and pleasant during the day, with heavy dews at night. The health of the troops continues re markably good. Two rations of whisky and quinine are now daily issued. PHILADELPHIA, May 22.—The steamer Sawanee sailed this morning with a full cargo for New Orleans. She carries no mail. The transport steamer Haze arrived in New York, yesterday, from Newbern,N.

That we believe• it to be the duty of all Union loving men to meet and speak their Union sentiments, and also to take measures to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States. Resolved, That we desire protection by our Federal friends.
